People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 214
After the words fell, Li Yao's personal followers entered Cai Yong's mansion in two rows.

Seeing this situation, Cai Yong felt an angry, thin old man, jumping anxiously, he shouted angrily:

"You robbers, bandits, shameless scum, those are the words of the saints, they are the books of the saints, how can you rob them, it is an insult to the saints, it is an insult to the saints!"

Looking at this stubborn old man, Li Yao stepped forward and grabbed his shoulders, lifted him up, and said calmly:

"Now that the world is in chaos, Cai Zhonglang can't protect the words of these saints. Why don't you hand over all the books of saints to me, at least they won't be lost, otherwise it will be difficult to say!"

Cai Yong was a famous scholar, a great Confucian, and he was not too young. Where could he be Li Yao's opponent?

Even if he couldn't resist, he still said angrily:

"Break into my mansion and rob my collection of books. In short, I will definitely be impeached for this matter. Xiangguo is not strict, and even sent troops to commit murder!"

Hearing this, Li Yao's expression remained unchanged. In the past, no matter how the central government fights, as long as the place is still stable, the big man will still be a big man, and he will not act so recklessly.

But now, the great Han has been disintegrated and torn apart. It would be a pity if the ten thousand volumes of books were not taken away at this time. After Cai Yong was killed by Wang Yun, the ten thousand volumes of books would be lost.

At this time, Li Yao just said perfunctorily:

"I see, you can impeach as you please..."

What can this do?It's nothing more than whoever is in the audience, sue this official!

No matter how angry Cai Yong was, it was useless, he could only look at all the books in his collection, and these people moved them out.

As for Cai Yong's family members and servants, they were all driven into the courtyard, and everyone was in a state of fear.

Li Yao glanced twice, everyone was terrified, only one of them was a little lady, although her face was tense, she showed no fear.

This made him very curious, so Li Yao waved his hand and said loudly:

"Little lady, come here!"

Now that Li Yao had spoken, and the surrounding soldiers looked over, Cai Yan felt her heart tremble, but she still walked over firmly.

When he got closer, he glanced at Cai Yong first, then saluted respectfully and said softly:

"Also ask the general to spare my father."

Cai Yong struggled hard again, he shouted angrily:

"Come at me for anything, don't embarrass my family!"

Li Yao also glanced at Cai Yong, but ignored him, then looked at Cai Yan again, smiled lightly and said:

"I didn't want to embarrass your father, but everyone is afraid of me, so don't you be afraid of me?"

Cai Yan said softly:

"The general is not rude, he only grabs books and doesn't hurt people, so I'm not afraid, the general is reasonable."

Hearing this, Li Yao looked at Cai Yan again and said:
"Cai Zhonglang, your lady understands better than you. Has this lady ever been married?"

As soon as these words came out, Cai Yong's face changed drastically, even Cai Yan's face changed slightly, Cai Yong quickly said:
"It has been promised to the family, the Hedong Wei family, the second son of the Wei family, Wei Ning Wei Zhongdao, the eminent family, the talented man of Hedong!"

Seeing that Cai Yong was so nervous, Li Yao couldn't help shaking his head, and teasingly said:

"A gifted man and a beautiful woman are indeed a good match, but I heard that Wei Zhongdao is a sick young man. Don't marry him. In less than a year, after his husband died and became a widow, he was kicked out by the Wei family. Later, when he met Hulu and the like, he was taken to the grassland..."

Such cursing and slander, not to mention Cai Yong, even Cai Yan was furious when he heard this, staring at Li Yao with puffy face.

Who would have known that what Li Yao said was the truth, the Southern Xiongnu rested and recuperated in Xihe County, the south of Xihe County was also known as Hedong County, as long as they crossed the big river, they would go to Chang'an to the west and Luoyang to the east.

The Han Dynasty did leave a lot of hidden dangers. A large number of Hu people moved inward to enrich the population and guard the frontiers, but they did not completely Sinicize. They even did not disperse them and resettle them in different places in order to show benevolence and righteousness. Instead, they retained the original tribe, language, and customs...

Not to mention that Xihe County is all Huns, next to Xihe County is Shangjun, and Shangjun is full of Qianghu, Qiang people, and Hu people interacted and merged with each other, and later became Jihu tribes.

You must know that just a few hundred years ago, Shang County and Xihe County were all places in Wei State, the most orthodox land of the Central Plains Zhu Xia.

Before the Qin Dynasty, Qin took the land of Longxi from Rong and Di, and the land of Longdong from Yiqu.

After the Han Dynasty, the country ruled the world with benevolence and righteousness, and a large number of Hu people moved inward, but they were not completely Sinicized. The scholar-bureaucrats said they wanted to educate them, but they did not take actual actions and allowed them to develop.

Confucianism originated from Zhou Li, but all schools of thought, scholars, farmers, businessmen, all originated from Zhou Li.

Zhou Li is a clear social division of labor. In the form of etiquette, it is stipulated that the emperor should do the work of the emperor, the dukes should do the things of the dukes, and the common people should do the things of the common people... The society suddenly became orderly.

All kinds of schools of thought, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and commerce all originated from this social division of labor.

The highest ideology of the Shang Dynasty was divination, which was the representative of theocracy. Zhou destroyed Shang, as if he had a destiny.

Because King Wen not only learned divination, but also brought forth the new through the old, wrote the Book of Changes, and the destiny of Zhou to destroy Shang was written by King Wen.

After the death of King Wen, King Wu, as the son of destiny, led the princes of the world to destroy the Shang Dynasty in one fell swoop.

But King Wu died four years later, his son came to the throne, and his younger brother was the Duke of Zhou. The society was chaotic at that time. Faced with this situation, Duke Zhou combined the actual situation, summed up the past experience, and wrote the Zhou Rites.

Through this social division of labor, the society has become orderly, throwing away those fantasy elements, this change is social progress, from the age of theocracy to the age of kingship.

What to do, what can be done, no longer rely on divination, or even gradually abandon divination, but look at their bloodlines.

From then on, Zhou Li became the highest ideology at that time. In the 800 years of the Zhou Dynasty, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were scholars, farmers, businessmen, and hundreds of schools of thought.

Until the time of Emperor Wu, hundreds of schools were dismissed, and Confucianism was the only one, and Confucianism has since become the highest ideology.

Hundred schools of thought were suppressed and gradually perished.

Li Yao didn't know much about Confucianism, but Li Yao believed that Confucianism had gone astray. They limited themselves to the scholar class. From then on, the majority of the common people became more and more impoverished in their thinking and spiritual emptiness.

Many foreign sects, with a little packaging, can win the support of the general public. Confucianism should reflect on why this is the case, as the highest ideology.

Confucianism, as the representative of royal power, has the full support of the emperors of all dynasties, but it cannot eliminate Buddhism. It is not only a foreign sect, but also a representative of theocracy. It has always existed and continued, and it is unreasonable to be rooted in this land.
